The 2019 Yamaha YXZ1000R family has received some fairly substantial changes and I had a chance to spend a day testing one recently during a press event in Alabama. • Before getting started, it should be noted that I’ve been a huge fan of the YXZ platform since day 1. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve had more fun in a Side-by-Side than while shifting through the gears and tearing up the trails in Yamaha’s Sport UTV. From the tight woods in South Carolina to a snowy day on the cold side of the border in Ontario, Canada, the YXZ just pushes the right buttons for me. Honestly, for purely selfish reasons, I didn’t want Yamaha to change this machine. • However, not everybody agrees with me. Off-roaders, specifically those that like rock crawling and mud riding, complained of the first gear ratio being too high. The 2019 Yamaha YXZ1000R addressed that concern by lowering the first gear ratio by 16.5% (gears two through five are lowered by 7%). As a side effect, Yamaha boasts the durability of the clutch is improved by 230%. • This new gear ratio allows the YXZ1000R to accommodate larger tires and Yamaha changed the stock tire from a 27-inch, 6-ply Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 to a 29-inch, 8-ply Maxxis Bighorn. The new tires should be a lot more durable, but they come with a notable weight penalty. Yamaha didn’t stop there. The 2019 Yamaha YXZ1000R also features beefier brakes to handle the heavier tires and stainless steel brake lines – a first for a Yamaha off-road vehicle. • Read our full review article here - • Subscribe • http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • YouTube - / atvdotcom • Facebook - / atvcom • Twitter - / atvcom • Web - http://www.ATV.com • No one covers the world of ATVs and UTVs like ATV.com.
